The Jaguars have released defensive tackle Roy Miller.

Miller, 29, played the last four seasons in Jacksonville after playing his first four seasons with Tampa Bay. He was a starter when healthy for the Jaguars but was limited to six games last season after tearing his Achilles tendon in October.

He was due to make around $3.6 million in 2017 if the Jaguars had kept him.

A third-round pick of the Bucs in 2009, Miller has started 83 of 112 career games.

redclaw1314 says:
“Players need a new CBA.”
Why? Due to Roy being cut because the Jags don’t believe he is worth $3.6mil this season?
Miller has made:
$2.52mil rookie contract with the Bucs
$4.4mil in 2013&2014.
approx $7mil in 2015&2016.
So that is $14mil for about 8 years of professional work thus far.

If the injury is behind him the Dolphins should sign him for about a third of what Poe is going to get. The Colts are desperate and will overpay, so doubt he leaves Indy. A 2 year contract around 5.5m is fair. He is a decent run stuffer and can be a rotation guy.

Must be getting Poe. Miller was the locker room tough guy who everyone respected. Prolly pissed off TC and wanted to gravy train $$$ for no return. Tom will literally street Tom Brady if he doesn’t buy in….
